[ALonelyDad]

is the main event next?

 

[Knockout_LR_Freshmart]

It gets wilder that Yair fought BJ Penn as time goes on.

Even at the time, that matchmaking was nuts

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

What's wrong?

At least this one makes sense

It's purely for marketing purposes at this point. I think it devalues the status of the champ and should only be used in cases where the champ has retired or otherwise vacated the belt.

 

[TheSuperkick!]

Everyone’s the best insert division of all time now Volk is good but he’s faced no one of note outside Max. Stop it

They did that with Max simply because he beat Aldo. Meanwhile Aldo defeated 2 generations of fighters across 2 promotions.

Khabib won....3 fights that mattered and a slew of janitors and gym teachers. But he's the GOAT

Oliveira was the best for all of 2 fights.

The UFC HYPERBOLE HYPE Machine is crazy!

 

[Hey_zeus]

Let's go

 

[Legal]

At least this one makes sense

It makes sense, but I can also see why someone would call bullshyt on this one. We're not sure the current champ even wins this tonight to tie the division up by trying to defend both belts or moving up. He could possibly lose, and be right back to cleaning the division out. A cynical view on it is that this is just to keep continuity with that division's belt being eligible to be defended in some form in the immediate future, or use a unification fight to sell Volkanovski's next defense.

 

[dza]

I think volk got this

 

[profound]

one of these plz volk

 

[The G.O.D II]

What significant wrestler has Volk faced for them to be giving this analysis on? A non juiced Mendes?

It's purely for marketing purposes at this point. I think it devalues the status of the champ and should only be used in cases where the champ has retired or otherwise vacated the belt.

Oh I know. I been tired of that shyt for YEARS. I actually said they should get a belt that just has a big gold 1 on it to signify that you got next.

 

[Propaganda]

it still trips me out that volk used to be a 200lb+ rugby player.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

I just hope Islam doesn’t give Volk the home country treatment that Rumble gave Gus

 

[Roid Jones]

Let's go Islam

 

[No Ma’am]

Volk getting that hero’s welcome.

 

[Suspicious Dingo]
